The Bill Preview 'Feet of Clay: Part II'

After the body of Susan Clark is uncovered, Superintendent Heaton visits Ian Ellis in prison. Ian was found guilty of murdering Rebecca Clayton 20 years ago and Susans murder mirrors the case. Ian is furious when he is accused of Susans murder and claims that he didnt kill anyone but was bullied by Heaton into admitting Rebeccas murder.

With media interest growing, Chrissie MacLeish, an ex-prostitute, goes to the station and tells the officers that her friend Elaine Putnam went missing a few weeks before Rebecca was murdered, and worries that the cases may be linked.

After evidence proves that Susan and Rebeccas murder are related to Elaines disappearance, Ian is re-arrested inside the prison where he warns Heaton that he has made a huge mistake. Back at the station, Heaton arranges a press conference and is humiliated when Ians brother, David causes a huge scene by shouting that Ians arrest was, and is a miscarriage of justice: his brother isnt a murderer.

As the investigation develops, Heaton is concerned that certain evidence regarding Elaines disappearance was kept hidden by officers at the time. Seeking further advice, Heaton talks to his former DCI Ted Ackroyd who dismisses Elaines case and admits that there was a cover-up.

Heaton is horrified by Ackroyds confession and begins to doubt Ians murder conviction. His fears continue to grow when Ian goes on hunger strike and clearly depressed, offers to sign anything Heaton wants him to.

Later, Elaines body is uncovered at an old rave site and forensics confirm she was murdered in the same way Rebecca and Susan were. Further evidence suggests that Rebecca knew Ians brother David, and when he is brought in for questioning, he reacts with fury when accused of being involved with all three murders. Heaton is accused by David of making things up as he goes along, while an emotional Ian tells the Superintendent he has been robbed of his freedom.

Later, while Heaton questions his guilt more and more, the custody alarm rings and Heaton rushes to the cells to discover Ian has attempted to kill himself.
